West Brom have been linked with a move for Palermo playmaker Franco Vazquez but they face competition from Spurs.

Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini has confirmed he has set an asking price of 25million euros (Â£20m) for the 27-year-old and it has been claimed the Baggies have been in contact with the Rosanero in regards to the versatile attacking midfielder.

However, the Express & Star say Albion have no plans to match Palermo’s price tag and are hoping the Italian side lower their valuation at some stage later in the transfer window.

That could result in the Baggies missing out on the Italy international, who was not selected by the Azzurri for Euro 2016, as Zamparini has told the Corriere dello Sport that he has been in touch with Spurs and is waiting for a response after informing them of his valuation.
